That's right in the ballpark. FIFO around 15-25, DMA 60-120 is
what I remember. I seem to remember reducing some BIOS setting (DMA
latency, maybe?)for better performance, but that's really fuzzy. Do a
Deja News Power Search on the period right about two years ago for
more info.
OK, just did a little searching of my own past posts via my
newsreader:

(That was with a P133, a Supermicro P5STE HX motherboard, and an
Intergraph Reactor [now Intense 3D 100].)
Try searching on that thread...
